Nexus Summit 2017 Call for Abstracts

The National Center invites interested parties to submit abstracts for the 2017 Nexus Summit in three different areas: skills-based workshops, Nexus Fair presentations, and poster sessions. All abstracts will be submitted online.

Step One: Identify submission type

Skills-Based Workshop

90-minute active-learning, skills-based workshops by National Center affiliated programs that are collecting data to contribute to the collective IPE knowledge base. This submission is for National Center affiliated programs only.

Nexus Fair Presentations

An interactive, solutions-based learning environment designed to facilitate synergy of complex initiatives and organizations that share a deep passion and commitment to improved experiences, outcomes and costs in both health care and education. Two 60-minute presentation options include:

Showcase Presentations with Consultation Kiosk - Opportunity to share practical, skills-based information, tools and resources with a small group of up to 30 individuals. Audience interaction and Q&A is strongly encouraged

Resource Exchange - share session demonstrating interprofessional tools, educational modules, and other practical resources that may be of interest and value to your colleagues.

Poster Session

A new Nexus Summit opportunity this year for individuals or organizations to present data, outcomes, and evidence resulting from interprofessional practice and education initiatives in a 60 minute poster session.

Step Two: Review criteria for abstract submission

Step Three: Review presenter expectations

The presenting author/s must register and attend Nexus Summit 2017. Presenters are responsible for their own travel, accommodations and conference registration fees. If a presentation is selected, audio or video recordings may be made of the presentation. Your submission of an abstract constitutes your agreement that recording can be made and distributed. All correspondence (primarily through email) will be sent to submitting authors. Final versions of all accepted presentation materials (workshops, Nexus Fair and posters) are expected to be submitted in PDF format for inclusion in the post-conference online resource archive.

Presenters will be asked to identify any potential conflict of interest related to the content to be offered (e.g., commercial interest, affiliation with a vendor, and/or receipt of royalties) and affirm that their abstract presentations will not be used to sell a particular product or service.

Step Four: Submit your abstract(s)

All abstract submissions will be completed online. The submission site will guide the applicant through the process. Abstracts are formatted automatically. Applicants may access the site as often as they like to modify the document until the final submission deadline, and have control over when the abstract is submitted. Applicants will be notified immediately after an abstract is submitted.

Skill-based Workshop Call for Abstracts

The National Center is seeking abstracts that address provocative and practical interprofessional team-based practice and education in the U.S. through 90-minute active-learning, practical, skills-based workshops. Workshops are intended to showcase National Center-affiliated programs that are collecting data to contribute to the collective IPE knowledge base. Workshop leaders will offer practical tips and will convey specific knowledge, skills and/or competencies. Workshops will be held August 21 and 22, 2017.

The workshops should address one or more of the following topics:

Getting to Know Each Other: How do you get started? What are tips for streamlining and supporting various stakeholders in health to work and learn together? What approaches make a difference in achieving learning and health outcomes?

Promoting Teamwork, Patient Safety, and Quality Improvement in Interprofessional Practice and Education: How can interprofessional practice and education leverage what is known about teamwork education to achieve outcomes that reflect better overall health and stronger clinical experiences at a lower cost? What are you learning about teaching patient safety and quality improvement?

Access to Care: For underserved and rural populations, how is your Nexus project improving quality of experience for patients/people, families, communities and learners; sharing responsibility for achieving health outcomes and improving education; and reducing cost and adding value in health care delivery and education? What are new and practical tips for effective IPE?

Linking Outcomes to Reducing Costs in Health Care and/or Education: The highest goal for interprofessional practice and education is to demonstrate added value of learners (e.g. students, residents, health professionals with patients/people, families and communities) to practice. How is your project demonstrating this value in your work with the National Center? And, how are you engaging your own constituents to advance your work locally?
